ripken204 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 why do you guys think that ppl make viruses? it think that it is b/c they love the feel of accomplishing something very hard like hacking you system.
ringfinger Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I agree... I think it's the thrill of knowing all the chaos they've caused for one as well as being able to take advantage of an exploit and being able to meet the challange of attacking that exploit before it's patched.
Redcloud Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Its harder to get something to work then to create a virus to get something not to work. Like its easier to crash a car than to build it. In short, its a way for the almost could haves to deny their miserable puniness. Is there really money in it. No.
EchoNoise Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Well I use to create viruses, to learn how they work, how they function, and I learned how to avoid such menaces...Most viruses are for education, but some moronic fool spreads it, and 80% of the time causes havoc in some way or another!
Tommy Gunns Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 I'm wondering if there will ever be so many viruses, that one day people will just give up on using the internet or could it be that eventually one day there is so many viruses, that they could destroy the net??? Um, which is it...WWW World Wide Web or WWV World Wide Viruses??
Maleko Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 As long as there are viruses about, it keeps some companys in buisness...
Redcloud Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Good point. I wonder why I keep getting attacked with the Bla Trojan horse on connects. Could Symantec have something to do with that since I have Symantec AV?
aussiecanuck46 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Why do people write grafitti or commit other senseless crimes? For notoriety mostly, I think. Some people can create things and those who can't can destroy things.It's just a fact of life that those who want to have computers must have enough processing power, memory, and programs to protect themselves from the people who would wreak havoc. In the same way that we have lots of people employed, and money invested, in police forces. If there were no criminals in society, and no need to protect ourselves against them, then a lot of people would be unemployed.
Chikaka Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 They make viruses because the pay for them to f*ck ppl Computers and buy another computer
<SparTacuS> Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I've been waiting for years for a reformed virus programmer to create an "anti-body" virus.It would propagate itself around the world, getting into all systems and killing off malicious virii - maybe evolving to counter new ones.
gamehead200 Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Because they want to show off their 1337 skillz... No, really, my guess is that they want access to "secret" information...
